An Improved LP-based Approximation for Steiner Tree
The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental ÆÈ-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum weight tree spanning ...

When Policies Can Be Trusted: Analyzing a Criteria to Identify Optimal Policies in MDPs with Unknown Model Parameters
Computing a good policy in stochastic uncertain environments with unknown dynamics and reward model parameters is a challenging task. In a number of domains, ranging from space ro...

The Directed Minimum-Degree Spanning Tree Problem
Consider a directed graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and a root vertex r ∈ V . The DMDST problem for G is one of constructing a spanning tree rooted at r, whose maximal degree is...

A predictor-corrector-type technique for the approximate parameterization of intersection curves
Abstract We describe a method to approximate a segment of the intersection curve of two implicitly defined surfaces by a rational parametric curve. Starting from an initial soluti...
